En esta nueva serie técnica de INIA versa sobre los principales avances de investigación tecnológica en el cultivo de arroz en el marco de la zafra de mayor rendimiento histórico en Uruguay y la región, superando por primera vez la barrera de las 9 t/ha.

ABSTRACT - Bacterial wilt caused by the pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is a devastating disease of potato crops. Harmonizing immunity to pathogens and crop yield is a balance between productive, economic, and environmental interests. In this work, the agronomic performance of two events of potato cultivar INIA Iporá expressing the Arabidopsis thaliana EFR gene (Iporá EFR 3 and Iporá EFR 12) previously selected for their high resistance to bacterial wilt was evaluated under pathogen-free conditions.
